The Prompts
Ashes to Starlight sounds like the title of Joleene’s latest book. I reach over and place my hand on her knee. “No,” she says. “The title is Ashes of Deceit.”
“Why’d you name it that?” I said.
“ It wasn’t my fault.” My readers picked it…
Now to the business at hand

My wife likes those shows. We used to go before we had kids when they would come South.
that would be interestng – ice skating in the heat. The show was like a big stage production, totally excellent
Hi Sassy…cool pics!
thanks
I haven’t been to an ice skating show for a long time, this brings up some fun memories! 🙂
Hi stranger 😀 It was incredible
Nice Ice pics! and a COOL way to do the blog! Did Joleene really say “It wasn’t my fault”? 🙂
8 points Earthling! 🙂
Yes it was quite COOL… No she didn’t say that…
First job I had involved a working with a traveling ice show – except they preformed in a big dinner theatre on plastic sprayed down with silicone, no ice at all.
so they weren’t ice skaters but dabbled in plastic ware….
Clearly they had been Ice skaters at some point in their lives…. not not on that night, then again maybe it takes even more skill to skate on plastic??
I would think so. though I think I read once that Tessa and Scott dance better on ice than on not ice (they dance like they’re a couple but they’re not – though he does have the cutest tusch….)
I used to like watching figure skating…now, not so much. Cool blogo!
the captions came out fine Sue… love the action shots you got … brilliant… I bet is was a good show… I love to see ice skating too… never been live at the ring side though… only ever seen it on the TV… mostly the Winter Olympic games…great blog love.. xxx
Captions showed up just fine for me 🙂 was trying to write Patrick for this but may not get it done in time. ergh!!
I love to watch the skaing shows. I remember the first time my parents brought me to Boston to see the Ice Capades. I was hooked! No matter how hard I tried, I never got very good skating myself. I took my son to Boston when he was little and he enjoyed the Disney on Ice, Alladin show.
The skaters are my favorites to watch at the Olympics!
